No. It wasn't meant to be a trilogy. The trilogy curse only works if the original plan was to make 3 movies. I'm pretty sure that was the 12th commandment to Moses. The 11th had something to do with Michael Bay and explosions...

Although you can argue that both middle movies are better than the fourth.
But not with the 4 Alien movies,
I really like TDKR as much as TDK but people just got so caught up with Heath Ledger's amazing performance. Storywise they were around the same level for me IMO
And as for Superman I have some of the comics so it would be different with the new costume but the stroy seems to be set up well (But why does Jor- el Have an S on his chest  )

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

To be fair, I *think* that was meant to be his regeneration suit...more or less the equivalent of that black and silver one he wore in the comics just after resurrecting. That movie was supposed to be loosely based on the Death of Superman storyline.
But it does look like something from Starlight Express.

I was first introduced to this notion from Smallville (TV). I like the idea, but...I don't know, it just doesn't seem right to me. Oh well, I guess it is better then just him have a big, fancy "S". Automatically Appended Next Post:  ProtoClone wrote:

From wiki: S Shield - Representation.
Initially, the S-shield had one meaning: S for Superman. One of the first alternative meanings was presented in Superman: The Movie, in which it was not an S, but rather the S-shaped Coat of arms of the House of El. After the Superman reboot story The Man of Steel, the symbol's story was that it was designed by Jonathan Kent and was derived from an ancient Native American symbol. The symbol was featured on a medicine blanket given to an ancestor of the Kent family by a Native American tribe after he helped to cure them of a plague and was supposed to represent a snake, an animal held to possess healing powers by the tribe (implying that, by wearing this symbol, Superman was a metaphorical healer). In 2004, Mark Waid's Superman: Birthright series says the S-Shield is the Kryptonian symbol for "hope" and Superman believes it may have begun as a coat of arms for the House of El. Later, writer Geoff Johns confirmed it was indeed a coat of arms, as well as a symbol for hope.
